Val, on the other hand, seemed unperturbed. His heart didn't pound against his chest in fear, nor did a cold sweat break out on his forehead. His Trait 1 'Unfeeling' prevented him from feeling fear or pain, and Trait 2 'Emotional Impairment' further ensured that his emotions didn't get the better of him in such situations. His gaze remained steady and composed, as he evaluated the forest wolves circling them, determining their levels with the help of his Detect Trait. He found out that they were between levels 18 to 22.
"We're surrounded," Alfred whispered, keeping his eyes fixed on the growling wolves.
